Have you lost track of how many certifications and degrees you've gotten, yet still feel like it's not enough for what you want to do?

Constantly reading more books and articles on personal development and happiness, and feeling frustrated that you still feel like you're always starting at square one?

Wondering when you'll be prepared or qualified enough to finally go for your dream?

In school and in the media they tell us that "knowledge is power." But it seems like the more we learn, the less we know, and the more inadequate we feel.

If that's how it works, then how can we get to feel powerful and adequate?

Watch the above video to explore why knowledge by itself is NOT power!

"Congrats grad! Now on to the next thing..."

In grade school we would have rites of passage ceremonies to commemorate certain levels of learning.

Having these graduations helps to anchor the feeling of self-worth and achievement in our energy, so we know we are worthy of taking our next steps.

The power in the ritual of graduation ceremonies is not just the celebration, but the sense of closure they bring.

Otherwise, we feel like we are not enough.

How do you know you've had enough middle school? Eighth grade graduation. How do you know you've had enough high school? High school graduation. How do you know you've had enough college? Again, college graduation.

But what happens after you've gotten your doctorate and still are looking for what's next? Or what happens when you stop getting recognized for all you've learned--like at work during the rest of your adult life?

Here's the thing: externally derived closure will never really satisfy you.

The desire  for more--to know more, achieve more, experience more, have more, etc.--is insatiable.

Now, in terms of your education this is all well and good--to have a healthy curiosity and thirst for knowledge--at first, but if we start using the search for knowledge as an excuse to put off taking action, that's where it gets problematic.

Maybe this post isn't for you. Maybe you're already clear on what you want  to do with your life, how you'll do it, and when you'll start.

However, if you feel like you're going to classes and getting degrees and certifications and don't still know why, or are still wondering when you're going to finally find and live your purpose, then keep reading.

The insatiable pursuit of more--specifically around information and knowledge--can turn from healthy curiosity to unhealthy addiction.

It's an addiction to consumption and preparation, because we are avoiding the big brown elephant in the room:

You have to take action.

And here's exactly where knowledge alone is not power.

That phrase is misleading. Sure, we all want to empower ourselves and "know" how to make our lives better.

But knowing alone isn't enough--to really see your life shift for the better, you have to actually apply the knowledge you've got.

Think of it this way: imagine that a storm is coming and you know it will knock out everyone's electricity for at least a week, if not several weeks.

So, to prepare for the storm, you start stockpiling candles, flashlights and lanterns. As many as you can grab. And it makes you feel safe and like you are doing good while you buy them.

The storm comes. The lights go out. And then you realize that in the rush, you forget to buy lighters and batteries.

And here you are, with hundreds of candles and flashlights, but no way to turn any of them on--surrounded by potential for so much light, but no way to actually use any of it.

You see that? You could have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't take action, or "turn it on" so-to-speak, you're just hoarding potential energy.

Know this: Knowledge alone is not power; it's potential energy. Be the catalyst and take action! #success #selfhelp

Spirit this week is saying that you've been avoiding taking action on something you've been studying and preparing for over the years.

Perhaps it's a move, starting a business, teaching a class or giving a lecture, etc.

There's something in your heart that you keep telling yourself "I'm not good enough yet" just because you may not have a PhD or 30 years experience. Believe it or not, telling yourself that negative story is protecting you from changing your life.

Learning more and more is fun indeed, but it can turn into a delay tactic that enables you to avoid taking action on realizing your dreams and goals.

Why do we do this? Because we're searching for permission to graduate.

You can give yourself permission now and become the Catalyst for all that potential energy you've stored up. Now's the time!

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows how we hide from taking action and what to do about it!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Did you know that all Lightworkers are Empaths?

It's true.

If you are a spiritual or holistic caregiver, counselor or therapist, you need to know that:

1. You are a Lightworker

2. You are an Empath

Energywork for Empaths 101 Retreat at The Dojo

It's essential that you learn how to take care of yourself so that you can continue to help people from a space of abundance, rather than being drained by what you do or who you help.

The above video is a great introduction to what is an Empath, if you are one, and how you need to learn to manage this gift.

That's why I'll be leading a retreat this month "Energywork for Empaths 101" to teach fundamental grounding, cleansing and healing techniques.
